GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
For your safety, please read these instructions carefully before use and keep them in the area where your tools will be used. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury.
WORK AREA SAFETY
• Always work in a clean and well lit area.
• Avoid distractions by keeping bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a tool.
• Keep floors dry and free of slippery materials that may invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating near power tools. Do not use tools while tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or medications. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
• Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is OFF before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch ON
invites accidents.
• Always use safety equipment and wear eye protection.
• Dust masks, non-skid safety shoes, hard hats, or hearing protection should be used for appropriate conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
• Disconnect electrical plugs from the power source before making any tool adjustments to reduce the risk of inadvertent tool starts.
• Store idle tools out of the reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Always inspect tools for conditions that may affect operation. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
• Keep tool handles clean, dry and free from oil or grease to allow for better control of the tool.
• Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet, properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug
in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the tool should electrically
malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.
